I’ve often wondered [only to myself] whether the Ambitus engraver could be 
tweaked to output a graphical cluster, the thickness of which would depend on 
the number of times that note appears in the piece (or total duration of each 
note, etc.) — that way, a pretty reliable judgement could be made just by 
looking at the ambitus, and seeing where the "bulges" were (if any).

Cheers,
Kieren.
